Multiple selection of objects
The first step in making a group is to select the multiple
objects that will comprise it. This can be accomplished
in either of two ways:
• By clicking and dragging with the mouse to mark out
a selection rectangle (a “marquee”) that encloses all
the objects you want to group; or,
• By clicking the first object you want to group, then
Ctrl-clicking each of the others.
Temporary groups
Any selection of multiple objects functions as a
temporary group, and can be move, aligned, rotated,
collared etc. as a unit. The temporary grouping loses its
identity as soon as you click elsewhere in the Edit
Window, however, whereas a group created with the
button persists until explicitly ungrouped.
Clipboard and delete buttons
The buttons in this group provide the familiar editing
operations Cut, Copy, Paste and Delete, all of which
operate on groups, individual objects, or on selected
text within a Title Editor text object. The first three
work with the Windows Clipboard, while the fourth
simply deletes the chosen material without affecting the
Clipboard.
